  • Youth Subculture in Beijing
  • Communication between human being and animal
  • How dreams,films,memory in brain (subconscious) restore as memory

Introduction

   Subculture developing in China through out networks, magazines, and fashion industry. In Internet age, the Propaganda still being produced by mass media, different cultural voices are still being strictly controlled by government as the past 20 years. Subculture always survive in between the gap, its main developing space is to find the mainstream organization to cooperate with, for example fashion or entertainment industry. What's interesting differed from the western subculture is, Chinese subculture audiences are mostly influenced by Western subculture in between 1970-2000s. After decades, Chinese rock'n'roll happened since 1990s, first brought in by some young westerners. China never go through any Sextual revolution or large-scale Feminism movement, subculture spreading on network, cultural products, and also build up the so-called "Beijing street kid"'s dream about the west.

What are you working on now?

I just finished my short video about a retired teacher volunteered to feed the street cats, the way she treat the cats is similar to babysitting. Also learning Affter Effects as preparation of making a short animation video.

What do you want your first project to be?

The video of Mrs.Gao as an example(already done), try to use different tools to express emotions, such as how to pass on sad by different medium(music,language,color,bodylanguage,vj)...

How do you plan to make it?

Learn softwares, probably make music and a video to express a same feeling.

Why do you want to make it?

Because I want to make music and films, and explore the relevant confused questions, like how do we figure out if it's a good film/music. I guess it's all about emotion connection?
